front mount?
wondering if anybody has ever tried front mount a ej subaru engine in front of a vw bug? i see rear mount, mid mounts in subie conversions. seen a 350
chevy implanted in the front mount on a bug, thought about why nobody has tried mounting a subie engine in the front n using the subie transmission
the way they are in a subaru car. anybody tried it??? or know any disadvantages???

Hi
It could be done, but getting it passed for street use would be another problem. You would need a special chassis etc. so the car would come under
individual constructed vehicle rules which can be a minefield. One of the advantages of the rear engine layout is the traction afforded so AWD is not
needed, going front engine your just running with the rest of the pack.
